Creating an inventory which can read Config.

Hey guys.
SO, I know how to create an inventory with the static method, But it wont work.
I need to create an inventory which will be able to read the config, Like if i do

Code:java

Inventory.setItem(1, getConfig().getString("Example");
 

Nothing will bug it.
I really need it asap
Thanks in advance,
Tamir.

 

I am unsure on the purpose of the code, but I can immediately tell you that you're missing a closing bracket. You open setItem with a bracket, but never close it. You code should change to the below to be correct syntax wise.

Code:

Inventory.setItem(1, getConfig().getString("Example"));

Why can't you just create an ItemStack with an integer?
Although it is deprecated, it still works.

Code:java

@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
ItemStack yourItem = new ItemStack(
getConfig().getInt("item.id"),
getConfig().getInt("item.amount"),
getConfig().getInt("item.damage"),
getConfig().getInt("item.data"));
inventory.setItem(slot, yourItem);

That was just an example.

You got me worng. I mean the STATIC method itself wont let me read the config :l

 

Tamir
in the parameters for the static method, add your main class:

Code:java

public static void yourMethod(YourPlugin plugin, other parameters....) {
}

and in your other classes make sure you instantiate the main class:

Code:java

YourPlugin plugin;

It should look something like:

Code:JAVA

//example code
@EventHandler
public void onJoin(PlayerJoinEvent e) {
YourPlugin.yourMethod(plugin, asd, asjf, dfga);
}
//Of course asd, asjf, and dfga mean nothing.

Or you use a non-static method for something that shouldn't be static.

 

FabeGabeMC
Already tried, It wont let the inventory open, It wont run the command.

How do i create an inventory with a non static method?

 

Tamir

What is causing this inventory to be opened? Just call a method in your main class that will build an array of ItemStacks and call it wherever you need it.

 

mythbusterma
I made the inventory on my main class,
I used

Code:java

player.openInventory(Inventory);

When he uses a command
I made it like
player.sendMessage("Debug");
It sents the msg Debug
But then It just wont open the inventory like red chat with an error

 

Tamir

Do you mean it generated an exception? You should post the stack trace in that case.

 

Just make sure that the classes are instantiated. In your main class put YourPlugin plugin; and in the constructor make sure you set plugin = this;

In your second class do the same thing but in the constructor set plugin to whatever variable you passed into the constructor.

Edit: Not sure if that solved your problem but I was readin up on this in the previous messages and wasn't sure if you solved the issue regarding using static methods or not.

That's my main class, I didnt add the command yet:

Doesn't this generate a stack trace when you start the server? It shouldn't let you instantiate the plugin.

 

mythbusterma
Oh...
How do i fix it?

 

Tamir

Well don't do "new Main()" for starters.

Furthermore, I believe doing Bukkit.createInventory(null, ...) could cause an NPE. Post your stack traces.

 

mythbusterma
The stacktrace comes ONLY when I actully add the line that opens the inventory.
Thoes are my stacktraces:
